    This home game stretch is going to have me exhausted living on the east coast. I'm already working six days a week, staying up until 1 and 2 am is going to take it's toll.

    That being said, I won't miss a game!

    Lastly, FUCK THE LAKERS!

    Can I fast forward to Nov. 14? "The Blazers got lucky, they played the Lakers three times in Lebron's first month as a Laker."

    "if the person you loved most in life became a Lakers fan".....Sounds like a wife or child. How does basketball affiliation connect to a person you are devoted to? Perhaps if the phrase was worded as good friend becomes Lakers fan then I might have second thoughts. ...

    Yep. If my wife decided to become a Lakers fan, she'd still be my wife. But if one of my buddies went purple and gold...vaya con dios!

    Here are some things that some might not remember.

    The first game of the streak was when Steve Nash got hurt. Essentially ending his career.
    EDITED! The first game of the streak was not when Steve Nash got hurt. @hoopsjock

    Chris Kaman was their starting center.

    Pau Gasol was their starting PF.

    Meyers Leonard played 1:32 and had "No Blocks" (Had to throw that in there)

    Blazers starters were Lillard, Aldridge, Lopez, Batum, Mathews

    CJ went 0-2 in just over 2 mins.

    TRob played almost 18 mins.

    Nick Young scored 40 points.

    This feels like it will be a tougher game than the first time they played the Lakers.

    I have a confession to make: I never actually hated the Lakers until the Shaq/Kobe era. In fact, as a kid I was a huge Jerry West fan.

    I tell my wife, our kids can grow up to be anything they want except Lakers fans. But the truth is, I'd just be disappointed if they were...

    Disinherit, disown

    Words that come in mind if my son became a Lakers fan.

    Kidding I love my son. But, I would be very disappointed.

    @Chris Craig ...you would really need to man up and kick him out of the house. If that is the type of decisions he would make, you have to question the safety of anyone else in the house. :protest:
